Back in the Lower 48

“Welcome home” was the greeting from the US border agent at Coutts. It was a sudden ending to our faraway travels.

It was too soon to be back on a US interstate so we meandered along Route 2 and discovered a Hot Spring resort – not as good as Liard Hot Springs but it did the trick – we were asleep by 9:30pm.

We continued on Route 2 and found a little town called Hingham in MT, so we had to send postcards (with the local PO stamp) to our great friends in Hingham MA where we lived for 10 years.

“Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a sanctuary for wildlife and people. The lonely freedom of the wilderness is nestled into every scenic view and blazing sunset. For all time, it is a place for people to find refuge where the bison roam.”

Here is a video of the Butte’s in the National Park

We arrived home on Aug 20th – ZuZu is so happy!!

Ushingi did us proud – traveled 11,159 miles and then we added 2,337 miles in Lynne’s car for a total of 13,492 miles traveled. Our fuel bill was a lot less than expected – only $3,362.89.

We were blessed with no mechanical issues, no tire punctures and to our utter amazement NO windshield cracks. We had a near miss early in our trip with a truck throwing up a large rock that hit the roof and missed the windshield.

I think this was our last long trip…..
